Konfrontasi Vol.6

[aro0]

Hi guys,

 

I am going to conclude my Malayan-Indonesian conflict collection with couple of Indonesian heavies. I've said it before but it should be noted that Indonesia was actually one of the best equipped air forces in the world did not commit much of it. It would have been interesting to see how the, at the time, best Soviet machines compared to the British.

Mighty impressive work!    Thanks for sharing it with us!  🍻

Impressive!  Well, I asked for a C-130, and you provided!  I think the Indonesians had better transport aircraft than the British did at the time, but I doubt they had developed a plan or doctrine for how they would employ all their fancy Soviet hardware in time of conflict.  I also don't believe their training was all that fabulous, either, so they were wise not to attempt to employ anything other than the C-130s (on troop-dropping missions) in their border conflict.

Nice subjects and an interesting project! I particularly like the Tu-16, a very accomplished model of an attractive subject. Would have loved to have seen one in the air!
